Comments:

Was intending to do SOSB 10m but Decided at the last mo to enter all bands as I
finished the
80/40 Vertical but the radials were a tad slim on the ground but it tuned up
reasonably well.
So I thought lets go for it. Luckily condx were excellent except 20m for some
reason, the band was extremely noisy here and traffic seemed weaker than the
other bands hence my lower total.
My 160m dipole ( no luxury beverages here) was squeezed in bent about the
garden with the ends literally 4ft off the ground tied with baler string to the
hedge. My wife actually parked her car within feet of the ends!! However with
these limitations, it seemed to receive traffic well especially those from NA!

Some nice DX on 10m but no JA, and boy did i try! However KH and WL7 called in
though.
Band counts are a bit low as I don't S&P the bands often enough.
I bought the elecraft kit amp, the KPA500 back in the summer and it was
faultless.
I thank the wife for her support with cups of tea etc,  and her insistence of
sunday lunch in a non contest zone, the dining table!!

Regards
